As an clement necessary to suc' IS
in lite 1T is OF paramount importance
that a well defined Inc OF action
should be laid down. This sas ne
cesssry and of as great relative nm
pOrtaucc AS that the master builder
should prepare foundation upon
which the perstrncture SHAH rest

This paragraph is commended 70
every young man who has the int l.
gcnce to read it and the courage TO

select calling, trade or profession
early in life and stick to it.
While Texas, no doubt, needs i'm
migrants, it doesn't want the kind
who come expecting { . pick up a lily
ing without working for it, There
are too many worthless vagabohds
standing around tue towns of this
state now, cur-ing the country because
it doesn't support them gratis or give
them soft jobs at big wages. such
trash as this compose the class that
sanctimonious demagogues love to
comes, but they aint worth six bits
dozen when 1t comes to doing ten
hours good square work behind a
plow.-Temrle Journel.
If the vagrant laws were rcgidly
enforced there would be fewer OF
these sociel sctbs about the towns and
cities.
Taxes are altogether too high, when
there is a tremendous cash balance III
the state treasury. Only sufficient
,XcS should bs levied aud collected
from people ola state o economical
administer the government Moth
inc, however, can be done toward
lowering taxes until the legislature
meets Rusk county News.
The cause Of the present apparent
surplus is accounted tor in the change
of the time for collecting taxes.
Heretofore the taxes had to be paid
he frat of March. Under that
several hundred thousand
1886 were hcld back till
the beginning of 1887. and by reason
thereof there was deficiency charged
to Governor Ircland's administi alton.
That tax came IN in the spring, and
now. under the admirable new ,aw,
all taxes II ust be paid by the lst OF
Janusry' Hence the surplus. This
being the transition year, the pa
ment of two years taxes by de- -
quents and those who held back II
the last day last spriug, seems, to
en- ard>hip 9nd they howl, but
AFTER this the syttem will wor
smoothly, and il il shall appear to TIE
next legis allure That the state govern
ment can get along with a redu
levy, it will surely have the good SC
and patriotism TO tighten the bur
den.
Dallas, Texas, is perhaps the only
city in the United States that well
comes tranps. 1t has III @ them
bald fifteen miles of turnpike roed
and grade many miles of public roads,
and therefore the town is disposed to
receive the tramps very Cordie'ly, and
extend them a shovel in one hand d
pick III the other.-lIouston lela

1t is rumored that DR. S. o. Youp.

And what has become of Mr.. Lowe:
The News owes its growth and sue
cess 10 his management, and it Is
doubted that any newspaper man il
Texas can fill his place. There are
plenty who can rattle around in il
but if Lowe is of the News. there
will be period of "shrivelled Local
